BABYBABYBABY (2024)

BABYBABYBABY is a dance about dances about love.

"Tell me about the first time you fell madly, head-over-heels in love—the kind that lifted you, possessed you, transformed you, and then wrecked you. I don’t like to remember the slings and arrows of that can’t-eat, can’t-sleep kind of infatuation, but Laila J. Franklin and the cast of BABYBABYBABY bring us there."
